Customer Ratings & Reviews

I got the chance to use this projector and I was very impressed by it. I've used projectors before and it's been somewhat of a learning curve to setting them up, making adjustments for your living room or placement of your screen. Out of the box the HT1070A is really easy to hook up, only power and input source. When you first turn it on you are prompted to go through a setup for vertical distortion or keystone. The HT1070A is already out of the box doesn't really have an issue with distortion but if you do need to make changes it easily done. This is one of the good points about this projector. On other projectors I've had and used in the past this was a bit of a learning curve. Overall the setup on this projectors are very easy and intuitive. The projector has 2,200 lumens, which means the brightness of the projected image the projector can output. In my home with the lights normally on, I found video and picture quality was good and surprisingly clear. With the lights off, the projector really shined (figuratively and literally as with any projector), I found the amount of lumens was great for what I used it for. Focus and zoom is done mechanically but very easy to do. I was able to project and use 100 inches of the screen. Oh and I didn't have to place the projector far from the screen which is a problem with many other projectors. On to Picture quality. This is a DLP projector which most projector TVs and projectors are. The benefit of the DLP is, it is supposed to be less pixilation then the LCD projectors. One of cons for DLP is that the color accuracy is not as good as LCDs so you have trade offs. From my impromptu use on my wall I couldn't really tell if it color was off but it looked really great compared to my 4k TV. With the right projection screen I did notice a light different coloring but not very noticeable at all. The pictures and video quality is great and clear, I played "Zelda: Breath of the Wild" on it and it was quite impressed by the high def. I'm looking forward to throwing a party and having this outside for guest to play a video game or watch a sporting event on it. Cons: On thing I would have to say is, you should use an external audio output. The projectors speakers are not that great. I had to turn up the volume up all the way just to hear my video. In conclusion, if you're looking for an affordable projector, I'd recommend this projector.

I have owned two projectors in the past and this BenQ HT1070A is by far the best in its class (entry-level home theater) by delivering excellent picture quality with a superior color performance at a very reasonable price. My first impression of the product was that the BenQ projector would be slightly better than my older projector but I was wrong; the exceptional lifelike color and sharp detail every image comes to life amazed me. I initially did not set it up in my entertainment room. I had special guests and I had to quickly setup projector it in my living room which had a bigger wall to project. They were all impressed with the image quality of my new projector. I did not use a screen at that time but the BenQ still gave far better image quality than my older projector. After that, projected in at a regular screen, it gives even better picture quality. The BenQ can project up to 25’ size screen and still give a good image. The best screen size is 100 inch for a permanently fixed setup. For smaller rooms, you can also make the 100” screen viewing in only 9.2 feet. Even though it is best to use the projector with a dark room without ambient light to bring brilliant colors to elevate your home cinema experience, this projector can be used with some room ambient light. The setup was very easy with very little adjustment required. This is great for quick setup when projecting at a different site other than its permanent cinema room. It has three quick mode setting for sports, TV and movie. My favorite mode to use this projector is the sport mode for most of the time. In conclusion, what I like about the BenQ HT 1070A is the excellent cinema/theater quality for home viewing at a very reasonable price. It gives brilliant, precise, and authentic color to project any type of image. It is a full HD resolution with spectacular clarity with depth and range. I also like the fact that if it is set up at a different site to project, it is basically a hassle-free setup with minimal adjustment. This is convenient and flexible to have in a projector. Thanks to this new projector, my family loves our updated home cinema entertainment to watch movies, sports, and tv on a larger screen.

Design: Upon opening the box, I noticed that this BenQ projector has a compact and lightweight design, which makes it portable and unobtrusive. It is almost entirely white with some gray/silver accent coloring, and the material feels like a durable plastic. For now, I have it resting on a small nightstand in our basement and it looks great. To provide ventilation, each side of the projector has slated openings. It can get warm after extended use, but I feel that it does a decent job regulating its internal temperature, so I do not foresee it ever overheating. The functional buttons on the top of the projector are rubberized, easy to press and self-explanatory. There are several different input options, but I especially like that there are dual HDMI inputs. This allows me to have two devices plugged in at once without needing to swap the HDMI cord each time I want to use the other device. Overall, BenQ did a fantastic job at designing this projector for portability, functionality, and durability. Setup: Thanks to the simple setup, it only took a few minutes to get the projector up and running. Just plug in the power cord and your desired device, then complete the setup wizard once the projector is powered on. Adjusting the height and lens focus was also easy. You can screw or unscrew the feet on each side of the projector to set it to the exact height desired and ensure that the projected screen is level. Additionally, you can rotate the lens adjustment to find the perfect image focus. These features allow you to set up the projector in a variety of locations without compromising image quality. The projector does have a small internal speaker, but you will want to set up another form of audio for the best experience. Image Quality: I was honestly blown away when I started watching a movie on this BenQ projector. The image is bright, clear and colorful. I am a first-time projector owner, and I will admit that I had some reservations about what the image quality would be like on such a large projected screen, but those reservations instantly disappeared. This BenQ projector delivers a true 1080p image with an exceptional range of colors and deep blacks. I am confident that you will be impressed, just as I was. Other Features: I feel that my review would not be complete without mentioning the DLP technology, which is the same technology used in most cinema projectors. DLP technology is used for a reason, and once you own this DLP projector, you will see why. Another feature I would like to highlight is the ability to choose different image modes. There are three modes: Sport, Vivid TV, and Cinema. Each mode creates noticeable differences in the projected image that enhance the quality of the content you are watching. I find it beneficial to switch the mode based on what I am watching, and this is easy to do this in the projector’s menu. Another feature I appreciate is the SmartEco Technology, which saves energy and extends the life of the projector. I expect our family to be using this projector quite frequently, so I am happy that it was designed to last. Verdict: For the technology and performance that you get with this BenQ projector, I do not know that there is a better value on the market. Whether you are watching TV shows, sports, movies, or playing video games, the image quality is exceptional. Not only does it perform well, but it also is designed for ease of use and versatility. I think this is a fantastic entry-level projector that is perfect for families or individuals looking to entertain. All in all, BenQ has made me a very pleased first-time projector owner.

When I took this projector out of the box I thought it was too lightweight to be any good. But after using for the first time I was very impressed. Initial setup was so easy and straightforward as are most projectors. There is a quick 4 screen setup menu when you first power it on and you are good to go. I hooked up an amazon firestick to it and my Bose speaker to the audio out and I was watching cartoons with my daughters in a matter of minutes. Very impressed with the big bright and brilliant display. The girls were blown away. All that was missing was the popcorn (we ran out). We had to stop watching only for dinner. This has now become our favorite in house activity, especially since winter is here. Overall I am very pleased with the projector and it has quickly become my family's favorite piece of tech.

This unit checks all the boxes for a reasonably priced home theater projector. Setup is a breeze, with an automated menu that takes you through positioning and adjustments, such as keystone setting. The colors are bright and images are crisp, with very acceptable black levels. There is no hint of the DLP rainbow effect, which may be attributable to the high-speed color wheel. While the images are bright, you probably don't want to use it in a lit room. I did not try the built in speakers, as I used my home theater sound system with it. The unit is whisper quiet, so it won't interfere with your viewing enjoyment. Overall, it's a fantastic unit at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend it.
